Steelers offense better than ’08 Super Bowl winners

  • When it was all said and done, the Steelers’ defense led the league in yards per play allowed at 4.5. They also led in 2008, when they won the Super Bowl, and this year’s team is significantly better on offense (5.6 YPP and 23.6 PPG this year vs. 4.9 and 21.7 in 2008).
  • Roddy White’s 115 catches ties him for 10th all-time. There’s been at least one 100-catch receiver every year since Jerry Rice started the trend in 1990; the only time it didn’t happen was when Miami’s O.J. McDuffie led the league with 90 in 1998.
  • The Ravens played in 13 games decided by 10 points or fewer, the most of any team.
  • Green Bay scored 22 more touchdowns than their opponents did in 2010; they outgained their opponent in seven of the last eight weeks (vs. a strong schedule); Brandon Jackson had more than 20 touches in a game only once, but managed to go over 1,000 yards from scrimmage (1,045).
  • New Orleans finished the season 11th in scoring at 24.0 PPG – way off the 31.9 PPG of 2009. In fact, they topped 31.9 points in a game only three times this season.

Falcons star contemplates retirement

Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez admits to thinking about retirement after this season, but is still uncertain about his future plans.

But you think about it and then you detach from it.” — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
